Borla Exhaust Would Like Your Help!

Kriggans · 04-23-2009, 03:51 PM

Hello all,
This is Chris Higgins from Borla Exhaust (www.borla.com). We’re in the process of developing an exhaust system for the new R35 GTR. We’d like your feedback as to what you would want from an aftermarket exhaust.

What are you most concerned with? Performance? Fitment? Sound? Look? Other? We’re really excited to create an exhaust system that GTR enthusiasts will truly appreciate, and we look forward to your comments!

In order:

1. Performance (no reason to spend the $$ otherwise...unless you can build an inexpensive muffler that sounds exotic for <= $500--and I'm not sure I would do that)
2. Sound (don't mind drone or loud systems that sound...exotic)
3. Fitment (don't want to have to alter anything to bolt on a system)

Of course, number 4 would be cost...the GT-R tax is a killer.

^^^ Yeah OK, an exhaust for a GTR for around $500 LOL!!!

performance, and mean pitch

even though i dont own one i think a good exhaust for the new r35 would be lighter than stock, have decent performance gains, and have a nice exotic sound to it. i think the stock style tips would look good but maybe a little bigger if possible

Performance, Fitment, Price, Weight, Sound

Personally I can careless if the tips are chrome or titanium, whatever, but I'd want to make sure I'm not sticking something on the car that will make it weigh more, fit badly, reduce performance, sound bad, and cost a lot.

Thanks for all the input!

Are you willing to cut part of your stock piping for improved performance & sound? Or would you rather it just be a direct bolt-on fitment?

msukach · 04-27-2009, 12:45 PM

Would rather preserve the original system and go w/a direct bolt on--already running HFC and a mid pipe...my stock components are bubbled-wrapped up!

If yall do end up making one, try not to make it like the ones yall made for the 350z and g35 cause those are a PITA to install

I think most people would want a bolt up. Personally after my experience with my G (as in not using my stock exhaust ever agains), I would care less if I chopped up my oem pipe.

A dual 3.5" variable velocity exhaust for under 2k.

GZire · 04-29-2009, 11:42 AM

^^^I'd add on a H or a X pipe to the list if you want to go dual.

LOL! No worries, that's never been our style.

We spend a lot of time researching & developing our product; many thanks for everyone's feedback!

What is your folks time frame to bring your product to the market? I would be looking for an exhaust around the end of summer.

GZire,
Since we're still in the initial R&D phase, it'll probably be several months before we release the final product.

Thank you sir.

Exotic, sporty, makes great power with a touch of class. Something where you won't be embarrassed when the valet guy comes comes around with your car.
